As the sun passed over the the cradle of Scottish rugby Raeburn Place with leading members of the fourth estate Iain Morrison and Alasdair Reid in attendance backs coach Dempsey surveyed the horizon of Comeley Bank for former Hawks captain and stalwart Steven Duffy-- but no show
From this we have to presume that he went through with his wedding the previous day to the stunning Susan
This put pressure on the Hawks coaching team as they were about to face a team coached by the redoubtable Ian Barnes-- a coach in the Bill Shankly mould who would not allow such issues as weddings to get in the way of a match
Was he not afterall the coach who arranged a helicopter to get an Edinburgh Accies player from his wedding to the pitch of play against Hawks in a Scottish Cup Final and then back to the reception
Jimmie Sanderson of "whats your point caller" fame would really have liked that
However a club insider has confirmed that the wedding did actually take place at that great rugby stronghold Stenhousemuir the home of the Warriors and presiding over the ceremony was non other than Hawks captain the Reverend Nick Cox

FROM ALL AT HAWKS GOOD LUCK TO SUSAN AND DUFFSTER
